Artistic QR codes

From here.

You can’t go far these days without seeing a QR code for something: a restaurant menu, a website link, an entry form for something or other. But a lot of them are a bit… robotic and dull.

These ones aren’t boring. These ones are amazing.

AND THEY WORK! (Scan them with your phone if you don’t believe me.)

Mind. Blown.

Obviously, these were designed by AI, because everything is designed by AI these days, but still: absolutely incredible. An amazing twist on an old technology*.

The most useless QR code in the world

I know that a lot of people think that all QR codes are useless, but I’m not quite sure why they feel that way.
As with most things, if used properly – sensibly – they can be really useful.

This one doesn’t fall into that category though. It’s at Bramall Lane, in front of the John Street stand:

See it there? How is anyone supposed to scan that?
What? You can’t see it? Let me help you out by zooming in:

I put the arrow there. Just in case you were still struggling. All part of the service.

I was (obviously) sitting in the stand opposite and I could hardly read the advert, let alone take a photo of the QR code with my phone. 
As far as I could see, it was an ad for a Mercedes dealership in Sheffield. (This one, I think).
And I bet they get more hits from the link above than they do from that QR code.
